Howland has zero natty.






First of all, I'm talking about making a hire right now. I'd feel much better with Howland in 2014 than Tubby in 2014.

Second, what was the record of UCLA the three years before Howland took over? I know I don't need to tell you about the strength of the UK program before Tubby.

Howland isn't going to be able to recruit UCLA kids to Tennessee. It's going to be a little bit tougher for him to sell on the recruiting trail. That's not to say he won't recruit decently but he had the benefit of UCLA backing him on the trail.

I'd take Howland over Tubby this point as well and I respect Tubby as an X's and O's guy. He's just over the hill.
